一名青少年因脑囊虫病意外死亡，促使人们在俄勒冈州对这种疾病进行调查。从1995年到2000年，我们发现了89例住院病例，43例新诊断病例，6例死亡。至少有5例病例发生在没有在美国境外旅行或居住的人身上。需要加强对脑囊虫病的监测。
The unexpected death of a teenager from neurocysticercosis prompted an investigation of this disease in Oregon. We found 89 hospitalizations, 43 newly diagnosed cases, and 6 deaths from 1995 to 2000. At least five cases occurred in persons who had not traveled or lived outside the United States. Enhanced surveillance for neurocysticercosis is warranted.
